Magnolia
« on: June 17, 2015, 04:29:26 PM »
I have moved this from Tools Tips etc.
I now have the tree, it has three main trunks two of which are fused together like a figure of 8, these could make some interesting bowls or platters. There is a short peice of the main trunk 300mm dia, and some branch wood 180- 100mm dia.
It is extremly wet and I wiil be sealing the end grain with hot wax. Will keep you posted when I have turned somthing with it.

I think we all have a mental image of what one looks like and your turning ticked all the right boxes in my eye such that I recognised the Ginger Pot straight off. Nicely done.

I'm loving the timber, so bland, it's almost like looking at porcelain. Would make a great base for an artist to paint something special in the way of decoration.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!
